He is aggressive defensively when the other team is trying to play it out of the back, gets a toe in on the ball frequently disrupting the other team's build. He also can take the ball forward to mid-field, but not much further. Just my take.

Knowing conte that is prbly what he’ll pick. He wouldn’t stray too much from his small block of players notwithstanding the enforced changes in midfield. However I have feeling he may trust both Sarr and skipp in CM and could play a defender there or even peri.
He was fun for a while as #10 in Jose's set up, but I just don't see he has the nouse or physicality to play CM in this set up........
Subs: Austin, Davies, Dier, Tanganga, Porro, Devine, Kulusevski, Danjuma, Lucas
The Champions league isn't the time to experiment with new formations and tactics - it will be the same drivel we have seen for much of the season, with wingbacks pushing up and an overworked midfield 2. Our front 3 will get marked out of the game and we will fail to defend set pieces.
Likelihood is that we will set back and play the game our for a bore draw.

Swap Son for Richarlison, and start with Deki on the right.

I think too that that will be the line-up. Only question for me is if they go with Porro, as they may not want the new boy’s confidence to take a hit if he feels he’s been dropped after 1 match.

We only played that starting eleven twice all that season.
None were glaring Lloris style errors but it did look like he went down for some of the goals like a falling Christmas tree
I'm not sure there has ever been a goal keeper put in a decent performance when they haven't played for a sustained period.
Similar to center backs, it is the routine of playing every week that keeps them sharp. Having kick about and running training drills during the week can only do so much.
Forster is a decent keeper - but you can't expect a match winning performance when he has hasn't played in months - especially when he is thrown to the Wolves with Porro on his debut leaving the backdoor open and Tanganga, Dier and Davies looking like the 3 stooges.
And no Kane!We got to a CL final with sissoko and winks in midfield
It'll be exactly what this forum expect as Conte has all the creativity of a snail with a hangover. His inability to come up with competent plans to deal with different attacking sides is nothing short of staggering.
It'll be a variation of, if not exactly
Forster
Emerson Romero Dier Davies Perisic
Skipp Sarr
Kulu Kane Son
A more solid lineup could be
Forster
Emerson Romero Dier Lenglet Davies
Kulusevski Skipp Sarr
Richarlison Kane
Or even
Forster
Emerson Romero Dier Lenglet Davies
Skipp Sarr Perisic
Richarlison Kane
We don't need to win this one, we just need to not lose or at least not lose heavily and we need a few players who can put a shift in.
Goals 3 and 4 were saveable shots. As he went down to save them, he moved like he had arthritis.
tomori and bennacer are able to play.
we lose players and our opponents recover theirs. typical

Imagine him hiding like he does, but in midfield. Bloody hell.
